Thank You (To My Wife)

Often, we men take for granted,

That you've simply performed an edict of biologic cyclical reproduction.

And not wonder of the incredible largesse that has befallen us.

I am so profoundly transformed by the beauty of your love and your unselfishness.

 

Though we men oft complain of the seemingly irrelative by-products of this process we go through,

None can compare to the bloating, frequent urination, nausea, emotional turmoil,

Weight gain, wacky food choices, back pain, impatience, depression, negative self-image,

Waddle walk, belly steering wheel dilemma, inability to tie your shoes, hunger,

Relationship insecurity, cornucopiate vomitus, skinny lady envy, clothes no longer fit-itis,

Swelling ankles, chocolate cravings, diarrhea, headaches, pelvic pain, stretch marks, and what should be unlawful super odorous flatulence.

 

What you've done for us in the space and time of nine months

Is nothing short of the joyous miracle God has bestowed upon us.

I am awestruck that the place I pleasure in most for its tightness and firmness,

Was stretched beyond the limits of what I fear I will never be able to compete with.

 

I love you as no other man has loved any other woman,

My heart's eyes swell with tears, as it can not express or contain this overwhelming feeling.

For the love I see in their eyes, the endearment I feel when they utter my name(Dad!)

The gift of our three children, aside from the love of my God, and the fascinating adventure of our wedding and marriage, will never be superseded by any other joy; and for which I am forever truly and entirely grateful...!!!
